Reducing Carbon

Aligned with our parent company, Sodexo's SBTi (Science Based Target Initiative) validated net zero carbon target, we’re working to reduce carbon emissions within our operations. 99% of our emissions fall within Scope 3, with the two primary impacts being energy use on site and our supply chain. Therefore, our work to reduce our emissions relies heavily on external partnerships.

Reducing Waste

We use Leanpath to measure, report, and mitigate kitchen and post-consumer waste. We leverage the culinary talents of our teams to embrace best practices such as crafting our own house-made products and implementing innovative upcycling methods. We pursue packaging reduction initiatives for single serve or take away items and collaborate with vendors to minimise waste throughout our supply chain.

Through coordinated strategies and partnerships with local organisations and vendors, we magnify our impact, catalysing a chain reaction of positive change.
